Application filed April 10, 1897. Serial No. 631,584. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. MoOoR- MACK, residing at Towners, in thecounty of Putnam and State of New York, have inventedanew and usefulCarrier for Umbrellas or the Like, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention has relation to certain improvements in parasol-carriers orumbrellaholders.

The object of the invention is to provide a parasol or umbrella holderso constructed that the same will be adapted to receive a parasol or thelike that can be secured to a belt or any portion of the clothingcarrying the same.

A further object of the invention is to provide an umbrella or parasolcarrier particularly adapted for use by ladies in shopping, so that thesame can be held within the carrier while the person is engaged in otherpursuits.

- claim.

In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed todescribe the same with reference to the accompanying .drawin gs, inwhich- Figure l is a perspective view showing the practical operation ofmy device. Fig. 2 is a perspectiveview of the carrier or holderdetached. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 4 is a verticalsectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 2;

In carrying out my invention I have shown an umbrella or parasolcarrier, the same consisting of a lower base or support A, the samebeing preferably made of steel and provided on each end with theupwardly-curved spring portions 13, formed integral with said lower baseor support. The upwardly-extending ends from the base or support arecurved, as shown, so as to form a spring-clamp C, said clamp beingopened at its upper central portion, as shown at D, so that an umbrellaor parasol can be forced within the lower central opening formed withinsaid clamp. One of the upwardly-extended arms of this clamp is providedwith an opening E to receive a cord or chain F, the other end of thischain being secured to the clamp at the opposite end of support A, asillustrated. By placing any one of the links of the chain in engagementwith a hook or pin secured to the clothing of the user the parasol orumbrella may be supported at any desired inclination between a verticaland horizontal position.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I provide anumbrella or parasol carrier to receive the same and also provide meanswhereby the carrier can be attached to the belt or clothing of theperson using the article.

Of course it is evident that the chain or cord extending from theclamping-rings can be secured either to the belt of the person using theumbrella or that the same can be secured in any suitable manner to anyportion of the clothing.

The invention is very simple in construction, and by its use I amenabled to secure an umbrella, cane, or the like to ones person, so thatthere will be no possibility of the same being stolen while the party isengaged in shopping or who does not care to carry the same in his or herhand.

Various slight changes might be made in the formation of the carrierherein described, and I do not care to limit myself to the exactoonstructionherein set forth,as slight changes might be made in theformation of the holder, my principal object being to provide anunibrella or parasol carrier having the upwardlyextended curved ends toform a clamp or ring for the reception of an umbrella or the like.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure hy Letters and by means of which the parasol 0r un1- Patent,ishrella is suspended from the person 01": the
